As we approach 2026, market expectations for windshield wipers continue to rise. Modern vehicles are increasingly intelligent, equipped with cameras and sensors—commonly known as ADAS systems. Wiper judder or uneven wiping may interfere with these systems. Drivers now expect more than clean wiping and long service life; they also demand smooth, quiet, and stable wiper performance. Understanding the points below helps us serve end customers better and build more valuable partnerships.

Best Practice |
What to Do |
Why It Matters |
Retail / B2B Value |
|
Give the wiper blades a “bath” |
Clean the wiper rubber regularly with a cotton cloth and a dedicated rubber cleaner |
Oil residue, dust, and oxidation harden the rubber, causing streaking and poor wiping Restores flexibility and wiping performance |
Teaching customers on wiper maintenance or bundling a rubber cleaner increases order value Reinforces a professional image |
|
One more heartwarming action when it's cold |
Lift the wiper arms before de-icing Avoid wiping on icy, frozen, or dry windshields |
Activating wipers on ice can tear the rubber strip and shorten wiper blade lifespan |
Simple “winter driving tips” cards are low-cost but build trust and encourage repeat visits |
|
Parking Matters More Than You Think |
Park in shaded areas Use a car cover Lift wipers during long-term parking |
Direct sunlight accelerates rubber aging and deformation |
Highlighting UV-resistant materials and weather-resistant rubber helps justify premium wiper blades beyond price |
|
Don’t forget the windshield |
Clean the windshield with a professional glass cleaner during wiper replacement |
Clean glass reduces friction and motor load, thereby extending its lifespan (American patent US10207682B2) |
Adding a “deep windshield cleaning” service improves results and reduces complaints about new wipers, increasing customer satisfaction |
Advanced driver assistance systems rely on windshield-mounted cameras. Wiper vibration, judder, or uneven pressure can disrupt sensor accuracy. As a result, stable, smooth, low-vibration car wiper have become a basic requirement for ADAS compatibility.
Stocking truly ADAS-friendly wipers helps retailers avoid compatibility issues and after-sales complaints.
Electric vehicles are extremely quiet inside the cabin, making wiper noise far more noticeable. EV drivers have a strong preference for silent wiper blades.
Aerodynamic wiper designs with low-friction coatings such as Teflon or graphene-based layers are ideal. These silent wiper solutions directly address their core concern.
